SDK Overview: Modules and Main APIs
This page provides an overview of the various modules and highlights the most essential APIs that form the backbone of Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK.
Modules Summary
The Dynamsoft Barcode Reader (DBR) SDK is built on the Dynamsoft Capture Vision (DCV) framework, which includes multiple modules working together to achieve barcode reading. The hierarchical structure diagram below illustrates the various modules of the DBR SDK (with modules at the top depending on those below).
Modules hierarchical of the DBR SDK
The table below describes details the functionalities of these modules:
Module | Description | Mandatory/Optional |
---|---|---|
DynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter.xcframework (CVR) |
Provides APIs for single/multiple images processing, setting configurations, and other features. | Mandatory |
DynamsoftBarcodeReader.xcframework (DBR) |
This library mainly provides barcode decoding algorithms. It includes APIs for you to configure barcode decoding settings and obtaining the barcode results. | Mandatory |
DynamsoftCore.xcframework (Core) |
Provides basic structures and intermediate result related APIs. | Mandatory |
DynamsoftImageProcessing.xcframework (DIP) |
This library mainly provides image processing algorithms. | Mandatory |
DynamsoftLicense.xcframework (License) |
Provides license activation or management APIs. | Mandatory |
DynamsoftCameraEnhancer.xcframework (DCE) |
The Dynamsoft Camera Enhancer (DCE) SDK provides camera control, camera enhancements, and basic UI configuration features. | Optional |
DynamsoftCodeParser.xcframework (DCP) |
The Dynamsoft Code Parser (DCP) SDK for parsing the result. You can use this library for processing the Driver’s license or VIN. | Optional |

The utility library, which includes multiple implementations of image source adapters, result filter, image exporter, and other utility APIs etc. | Optional |
Main APIs
Capture Vision Router
The main class DSCaptureVisionRouter
acts as the SDK entry point and provides the following essential APIs:
Image Source Adapter
The DSImageSourceAdapter
class is an abstract class representing an adapter for image sources, providing a framework for fetching, buffering, and managing images from various sources. It serves as the input for the DSCaptureVisionRouter
. You can either use the typical implementations of DSImageSourceAdapter
or implement your own.
Class DSCameraEnhancer
is one of the typical implementations of DSImageSourceAdapter
. It is a class that not only implements the video frame obtaining APIs but also enable you to improve the video quality by adjusting the camera settings.
Captured Result Receiver
To receive the results of video streaming barcode decoding, you need to implement the DSCapturedResultReceiver
with the callback method onDecodedBarcodesReceived
. The result you received in the callback method is a DSDecodedBarcodesResult
object, which contains all the decoded barcodes from the processed video frame.
onDecodedBarcodesReceived
: The callback method for you to receive the barcode decoding results with aDSDecodedBarcodesResult
object.DSDecodedBarcodesResult
: An object that contains all theDSBarcodeResultItem
that obtained from a video frame.DSBarcodeResultItem
: The basic item that represents a single barcode with the decoded text and other information.
Camera View
DSCameraView
is a view class that design for visualizing the real time video streaming and the barcode decoding result. If the DSCameraEnhancer
is set as the input of your CVR, the decoded barcodes will be highlighted automatically on the DSCameraView
.
